hey, we're all confused.
-I called a friend in DC today and she explained it this way; "when you Google HRXXXX, you will get a House of Representatives (the "HR") bill, like HR554. But what we are reading about relative to health care are House "Resolutions" (another type of "HR"). Google will pick up HR bills before it finds House Resolutions because there is not much on them. So far there are several submitted house resolutions, like 554 and 689, relative to a 72-hour to one-week wait from teh time a bill is presented to the house or senate and the time it can be voted on. She told me that there is already a House rule/bill that calls for a 72 hour wait, but that bill allows leadership to waive the rule, as a result they frequently waive it, so it's really useless. So at the moment there are about 5 resolutions before the house and senate about waiting periods.
-Hope all that helps y'all. Me? --I'm still confused!
